Hi, thank you for the video. What mileage did the car have when you removed the injectors? What symptoms were present that you decided to check the injectors?
It's a while back now, so it's hard to remember. The car had covered 165,000 miles or thereabouts. I think that there were lots of puffs of thick white smoke leading up to the injector failing and I think it ran like a tractor, i.e. it was rough and slow. It was obvious something was very wrong. It threw up faults that I could read with my code reader too. I took out all of the injectors so as that I could inspect their condition. But only one was faulty, so at €600 an injector(!) I only replaced the one. I had to get it coded into the car and this cost me another €50 at the local diesel engine specialist. But it has been running well ever since. I am aware that another injector failure is just around the corner though.
